The one-day eLearnz web summit will feature six international speakers Donald H Taylor (Chairman of the Learning and Performance Institute UK), Amy Brann (Synaptic Potential), Gary Cookson (EPIC), Rohan Chandler (GO1), Dr Robin Petterd (Sprout Labs) and Paul Schneider (dominKnow).

Rustica has 25+ years experience as an L&D Manager, eLearning designer, senior instructional designer, capability advisor, SAP trainer, facilitator and mentor. She has worked internally and externally with a large number of organisations and government departments. Rustica travels the world searching for the best people, tools and technology and brings them to New Zealand so that we can all share in the latest trends that make our world and workplaces a better place to be.

eLearnz eLab 2019

Trends move so quickly in this digital age. L&D Professionals must keep up-to-date and informed with the latest technology, trends and techniques or risk being left behind. eLab is the only one of its kind in New Zealand with hands-on workshops allowing the L&D community to take time to play with new tech and learn low cost and free tools to create digital learning.

eLearnz eLab workshops focus on the latest in digital learning trends, technology and design. Attendees will work with thought leaders during these sessions where they will actively create digital learning. Participants will go away with up-to-date training methods that can be put into practice immediately back at their organisation and passed along to their team.

The two-day eLab in Auckland on 15th & 16th May features 6 mini workshops including Interactive 360 Video, Branching Scenarios using Twine, Creating Quizzes and Surveys using Typeform, Learn how to become a Game Designer, Build a Microsite for those who don’t have an LMS and always popular Articulate Storyline and xAPI. Participants will use the award-winning and fastest growing Docebo LMS to upload their learning and the best will win a VR headset!

“Through eLearnz eLab you’ll be treated to exciting new tech, but there’ll also be plenty of time for conversation, hands-on learning and collaboration that will inspire and invigorate your L&D spark,” says Bloom Founder and Director Rustica Lamb.

We are grateful to have the support of our sponsors Docebo, Learning eXperts and Sprout Labs to help bring the latest in learning tech to the L&D industry in New Zealand.

About eLearnz

The first eLearnz conference was held in 2013, after Bloom Founder Rustica Lamb and colleagues identified a gap in the New Zealand marketplace for a dedicated elearning event for L&D practitioners.

eLearnz 2019 brings together the world’s top learning tech speakers. In a world where the rapid pace of technology change affects all industries, the way we learn and adapt to that change is fundamental to our successful future.
